Being laughed at by oligarchs partying on yachts and flying around on private jets as they gleefully destroy the lives of the working class should be filling everyday Americans with rage.

Fascists fight immigration, asylum seekers, black or indigenous people of color, Jewish people, Muslim people, the lgbtqia+ community, visa holders, higher education, and non-English speakers.

Anti-fascists fight fascists.

The Dixie pipeline and Iron pipeline supply most of the guns to almost all the major cities.
Also, authoritarians will take all the guns eventually…

Of course not.
They didn’t murder Epstein just to keep him quiet-they murdered him to make sure no one else ever dare speak the truth either.
These people’s lives literally depend on lying or remaining silent.

Donald Trump sending National Guard troops into Democratic cities against their will is not just unconstitutional, it is an inversion of the Founders’ intent.

The safety-valve against state violence—militias—has become the source of state violence.

We live in an expanding state of martial law.

Trump was there to announce an executive order charging Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth with creating “specialized units” in the National Guard that will be “specifically trained and equipped to deal with public order issues,” apparently setting them up to take on domestic law enforcement as part of Trump’s attempt to take control of Democratic-run cities.

Sending the National Guard into blue cities because you don't like brown people or any group that is non-white is a weird flex if you're truly interested in winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

The thing about dictators is, even if you're on the inside or on the same side...eventually it catches up to you. Look at the military insiders in North Korea Kim has had killed. They were privileged. They had privileged families. They thought this was an "other people problem," until it wasn't.

To Donald Trump and his administration:

If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.
